Title V Family Leader

2022

The Title V MCH Services Block Grant program defines family/consumer engagement as a 'partnership': "patients, families, their representatives, and health professionals working in active partnership at various levels across the health care system – direct care, organizational design and governance, and policy making—to improve health and health care. This partnership is accomplished through the intentional practice of working with families for the ultimate goal of positive outcomes in all areas through the life course." Through this project, a family leader provides technical assistance and sharing of life experience to assure families are key partners across Family Health Services Division Title V MCH priorities. The family leader will meet with staff to evaluate and help develop family engagement practices are integrated into strategies and activities for Title V priorities where appropriate. Special attention to work with under represented or high risk families, populations, communities.
